PHILADELPHIA – Once the referee made his call and we heard what was in the NHL rulebook, it was obvious that the infuriated Flyers had no chance to win their argument Tuesday night:

No goal.

With the Devils up a goal late in their 2-1 win, goalie Martin Brodeur was shoved back into his net and the puck crossed the goal line with 40 seconds to go in the third period. But when a referee ruled goalie interference on Philadelphia Flyers left wing Scott Hartnell, the goal scorer, nobody had power to change the call.

Even though officials asked the NHL replay office in Toronto to review the play, there would be none because goalie interference calls are not reviewable.

The end result would become a 2-1 Devils victory was satisfying for them but infuriating for the Flyers. The losers complained that Hartnell had been pushed into Brodeur by Devils defenseman Anton Volchenkov and that they unfairly had the tying goal waved off.

Devils fans, we know that you approve of the outcome, but what about the play in general? What if it had been the other way around?

Watch the play one more time here, then cast a vote on what the NHL should call on plays like this:
